Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have received a boost in their chase for Morgan Schneiderlin, as Southampton manager Ronaldo Koeman has refused to look beyond January for Schneiderlin’s future at the south coast club, as reported by the Daily Star.

Despite Schneiderlin declaring his desire to depart St. Mary’s this summer, the club managed to retain him as the club faced an exodus of talent elsewhere. Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Luke Shaw all left the club, with three joining Liverpool.

Former Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino is a known admirer of Schneiderlin, and Spurs have been heavily linked with a move for him.
